2 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening-star; The winds and waves obey him, By him the birds are fed; Much more to us, his children, He gives our daily bread. 717 ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR 75. D. 3 We thank thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seedtime and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food; For all thy love imparts, Our humble, thankful hearts. MATTHIAS CLAUDIUS. Tr. by JANE M. CAMPBELL GEORGE J. ELVEY 1. Come, ye thankful people,come, Raise the song of harvest-home: All is safe - ly gathered in, 9:54 Ere the winter storms be- gin; God,our Ma-ker,doth pro-vide For our wants to be sup-plied: Chants and Occasional pieces DIRECTIONS FOR CHANTING I CHANTS consist of two distinct divisions: one portion is recited, the other portion is sung. 2 The words from the commencement of each verse and half verse up to the accented syllable, which is printed in italics, are called the Recitation, and should be recited smoothly, and without undue haste. 3 On reaching the accented syllable, and beginning with it, the music of the chant commences, in strict time (a tempo), the upright strokes corresponding to the bars. The Recitation must therefore be considered as outside the chant, and may be of any length. The note on which the Recitation is made is called the Reciting-note. 4 If there is no syllable after that which is accented, the accented syllable must be held for one whole bar or measure. 5 Marks of punctuation must be attended to, as in good reading. 6 As the accent holds the position of the first beat of the first bar, it is unnecessary to sing it louder than any of the words recited; its position, musically, will give it quite enough emphasis. 7 Final ed is always to be pronounced as a separate syllable.
